The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's #McConnelling Challenge

One of the sillier, but funniest Daily Show segments aired on Thursday night. I'll post the clip when it's up, but essentially, they just took a promo clip for Sen. Mitch McConnell, and set it to music. The clip is apparently for use in cobbling together Super PAC commercials or something, but it's a bunch of poses and basic "B-roll" footage of everyone's favorite turtle Senator from Kentucky.

The songs chosen had no relevance, other than they were just funny when played behind the video. In addition to running several (and cracking up on camera), Jon Stewart issued a challenge to viewers to make their own videos, and post them at twitter, with the hash tag #McConnelling. Challenge accepted! My song choice is as far from Mitch McConnell as you could imagine, Clarence Carter's ribald Strokin'. Enjoy!

UPDATE: If that's not to your liking, how about Mitch with The Spice Girls' Wannabe?

Not doin' it for you? Okay, then how about Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy?
